Laguiole Forged Steak Knives Ebony

Rated 5.0 out of 5
Based on 3 reviews

Fontenille Pataud's Laguiole steak knives are crafted to perfection, representing the pinnacle of European blade-making. These knives are unique among Laguiole table cutlery, as each is manufactured from a single cold-forged metal rod of high-grade Z40C13 stainless steel. This specialized "monoblock" construction ensures exceptional durability and a seamless, weighted feel that speaks to the highest level of artistry.

Handle Character: This set features handles crafted from genuine Ebony. Highly prized for its legendary density and deep, natural black color, Ebony is one of the most prestigious woods in the world. It offers a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic with a remarkably fine grain and a smooth, cool-to-the-touch feel. Polished to a soft satin luster, these handles provide a striking contrast against the mirror-polished steel, making them a timeless choice for any formal dining setting.

Expertly detailed with traditional hand-filed designs (ciselage) along the spring, every knife is crafted entirely by a single master craftsman in Thiers—Europe's historic cutlery capital. This "one artisan, one knife" process delivers a unique product that offers a feast for both the eyes and the senses.

Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) harvested in Gabon, Africa. Ebony is the darkest wood in the world and one of the few that does not float. Generally, Ebony trees are small and slow-growing. Worldwide demand for ebony wood is very high: it’s a high-quality hardwood that’s very hard, very strong, and most of all, very black. As a result, many species of Ebony have been banned from export.

Note that the international trade of Gabon Ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) used on this model is highly regulated.
